Prayers for FIL... Trigger

My FIL (father-in-law) has been struggling with drugs and has been seeking treatment but it seems to be a little too late. Between that and his diabetes he has developed an abscess of the spleen and now the infection is in his blood (I think they called it sepsess). They are worried it's in at least one chamber of the heart since his bp keeps dropping. He's been sick for over a week and didn't think much of it. They started him on antibiotics last night but the doctors are worried it may have been too late. It's all in God's hands now if the antibiotics will work. My 2 boys are in love with him and dh (dear husband) has always been a daddy's boy. I'm worried about how dh (dear husband) will handle loosing his daddy since he just lost his nanny at the end of May and is still hurting from that. If y'all could just say a prayer the antibiotics work and that dh (dear husband) can find peace if they don't, it would be much appreciated.
